Use one that goes on a Bike's Left rear Triangle, on the trailer tow fork, or bolt a regular one thru the expanded metal Deck ..

this would be to supplement the one on the Bike..




below shows one of the former type.

I have the Greenfield kickstand that is listed above. I got it for something like thirteen bucks off of Amazon in the "Used" list. Get one where Amazon is the seller and a "Like New" condition. I've always found that to be a new, unused item that has be sold and then returned. I've always saved and never had a problem.

In front of a store I just use a parking spot and the method pictured on the bottom/center of page three on the BOB Owners Manual. It's quick, easy and works great--on level ground.

I almost forgot about this thread!! Somewhere I has seen a two legged kickstand whereas it kept the bike/trailer straight instead of leaning. Know what I mean?
